The Bee-ginner card program is designed for children 2-5 years old who come to the library and want to borrow books.

How it works:
*Parents must fill out a registration form & have a library card

* When the child shows their BEE-GINNER CARD they can check out their own books on their parents account.

*When the child reaches his/her birthday the library will notify them to come and get a regular library card.
